Jim,Opera seems to be the area where a number of people have different tastes and just by a few of the postings we have here the differences in opinion have been really interesting to read.
Lesley Garratt a lovely lady I met and talked to on the train,without knowing who she was (it was before she was famous).I love her singing Opera, but not sure about her singing other music.A few more hours with her might make all the difference.
